Meet Tammy
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at tammynischan@yahoo.com and I will reply as soon as I can!

Remembering the Thumbs Up Today………..
When I opened my computer to begin writing this blog post, I wasn't planning on going back in time. However, this photo from 2006 caught my eye in a folder in "My Pictures," and I opened it for the first time in a long time. If you didn't follow Nick's fight with...
The "Simpleness" of the Christmas Story and How It’s Changing Me……….
When I think of God planning a way and a place for His Son to join us here on earth, my first thought isn't an unwed teenage girl as a mom or a stable in a tiny town called Bethlehem as the place. I'm pretty sure if I had been given the challenge of choosing the right...
One Thing is Certain
When the world seems uncertain, we must turn to His Word for a reminder of the things that are certain. For this morning, I thought I'd share this truth King David spoke years ago and the disciples recalled as they tried to make sense of Jesus' departure into Heaven....

A Betraying Kiss, A Thoughtless Denial, and An Angry Slap……..
I've reached the chapters in the Gospels where everything begins to unravel (from an earthly perspective) for Jesus. Even after begging God to "take this cup of suffering away" from Him, Jesus stands in the darkness of Gethsemane and feels an aloneness that surely...
